Drabble by Kevin Fagan for July 10, 2020

She was a spinster aunt.

It turned out to be an icy relationship…..

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As good a reason as any, Ralph!

Not since they were living in Pangaea.

let me weigh in a little on territorial pronunciation…….I have a friend who lives on the east coast of the U.S…..when she talks

about her mom’s sister she calls her aunt , rhyming with ‘stomp’

when I and everyone in the midwest I talk to, the pronunciation of aunt rhymes with ‘ant’, which admittedly is harsher.

so, when this cartoon appears on the east coast , is there a hesitation before they get the gag?

I remember as a kid wondering why there was no Arctica, if there was an Antarctica.

June will later have a talk with Ralph about teaching Penny ‘dad jokes’.

“IS IS”?

Can you find the error?

That’s ANTarctica not AUNTarctica!

They got a no-fault divorce.

No, but there might be a ROACHartica.

…because she was frigid.

I wish my ants would go to Antarctica.

Hey, Ralph? Are you sure it wasn’t the Continental Divide?

He was just too cold.
